Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
Boilers & Heating in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide boilers & heating across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1 and BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
How do I know if my boiler needs replacing rather than repairing?
Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, an ageing appliance no longer supported by spare parts, or a failed efficiency check are common signals. We assess the specific appliance and give a straightforward recommendation rather than defaulting to replacement.
Will you register the installation with Building Control?
Yes. Gas Safe registered engineers can self-certify boiler installations under the Competent Person Scheme, which satisfies the Building Regulations notification requirement.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
